Cleaning the interior

Before using the appliance for the first time, wash

the interior and all internal accessories with luke-

warm water and some neutral soap so as to remove

the typical smell of a brand-new product, then dry

thoroughly.

Do not use detergents or abrasive

powders, as these will damage the finish.

Operation

Insert the plug into the wall socket.

Open the refrigerator door and turn the thermostat

knob, clockwise, beyond the «O» (STOP) position.

The appliance will start to operate.

To stop operation, simply turn the thermostat knob to

position «O»

Temperature regulation

The temperature is automatically regulated and can

be increased to achieve a higher temperature

(warmer) by rotating the thermostat knob toward

lower settings or reduced (colder) rotating the knob

towards higher settings.

However, the exact setting should be chosen

keeping in mind that the temperature inside the

refrigerator depends on:

• room temperature;

• how often the door is opened;

• the quantity of food stored;

• location of appliance.

A medium setting is generally the most suitable.

Important

If the ambient temperature is high or the

appliance is fully loaded, and the appliance is

set to the lowest temperatures, it may run

continuously causing frost to form on the rear

wall. In this case the dial must be set to a higher

temperature to allow automatic defrosting and

therefore reduced energy consumption.

Fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance:

• do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in

the refrigerator;

• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a

strong flavour.

• Position food so that air can circulate freely round

it.

USE

13

Positioning the door shelves

To permit storage of food packages of various sizes,

the door shelves can be placed at different heights.

To make these adjustments proceed as follows:

Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the arrows

until it comes free, then reposition as required.

D338

Movable shelves

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a

series of runners so that the shelves can be

positioned as desired.

Air recycling

The refrigerator compartment is equipped with a

special D.A.C.(Dynamic Air Cooling) fan which can

be turned on with the switch ( see fig. 1). The green

light, when on, means that the fan is working.

It is suggested that the fan (D.A.C.) be used when

the ambient temperature exceeds 25°C .

It should be remembered that the thermostat knob

must be placed within the sector .

This device allows for rapid cooling of foods and a

more uniform temperature in the compartment.

HINTS

Hints for refrigeration

Useful hints:

Meat (all types): wrap in polythene bags and place

on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer.

For safety, store in this way only one or two days

at the most.

Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..: these should be

covered and may be placed on any shelf.

Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly

cleaned and placed in the special drawer(s)

provided.

Butter and cheese: these should be placed in

special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium

foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as

possible.

Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should

be stored in the bottle rack on the door.

Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not

packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.

MAINTENANCE

Unplug the appliance before carrying out

any maintenance operation.

Warning

This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling

unit; maintenance and recharging must therefore

only be carried out by authorized technicians.

Periodic cleaning

Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners

contain chemicals that can attack/damage the

plastics used in this appliance. For this reason it

is recommended that the outer casing of this

appliance is only cleaned with warm water with a

little washing-up liquid added.

Clean the inside with warm water and bicarbonate of

soda.

Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Clean the condenser (black grill) and the

compressor at the back of the appliance with a

brush or a vacuum cleaner. This operation will

improve the performance of the appliance and save

electricity consumption.

Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long periods,

take the following precautions:

• remove the plug from the wall socket;

• remove all food;

• defrost and clean the interior and all accessories;

• leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate to

prevent unpleasant smells.

Interior light

The light bulb inside the refrigerator compartment

can be reached as follows:

- unscrew the light cover securing screw.

- unhook the moving part as shown in the figure.

If the light does not come on when the

door is open, check that it is screwed into

place properly. If it still does not light up,

change the bulb.

The rating is shown on the light bulb

cover.

Defrosting

Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator

of the refrigerator compartment every time the motor

compressor stops, during normal use. The defrost

water drains out through a trough into a special

container at the back of the appliance, over the

motor compressor, where it evaporates.

It is important to periodically clean the defrost

water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator

compartment channel to prevent the water

overflowing and dripping onto the food inside.

Use the special cleaner provided, which you will

find already inserted into the drain hole.
